Outside, a mighty flood overwhelmed the world as clouds scuttled across the sky, yet within the house reigned a quiet tranquility, with the courtyard full of the scent of flowers. Upon Qin Yu and the others' return, Xi Jing and Zhou Yun had already been taken over by Wen Xi, and the large table in the courtyard had been set. Since it was only four or five in the afternoon, the sunlight, neither too fierce nor too mild, bathed the full view of the courtyard and the nearby lake in a soft glow, creating a very pleasant environment for dining.
Zhou Yun was helping to serve the dishes, while Xi Jing was actually able to lend a hand.
However, it was understandable Zhou Yun, being a research type, naturally wouldn't spend time on these matters. They could manage the basics of food and drink, but were truly not adept - not even reaching an average level.
